Dragonwhisperer: Hello, it's me again.
Tea: Can I hurt you?
Dragonwhisperer: Why?
Tea: You know exactly why.
Dragonwhisperer: Relax, Mai's just being a flirt, you know that.
Yugi: She still tries to flirt with me.
Bakura: Well, it doesn't seem as though Dragonwhisperer is going to be doing the disclaimer, but you should all know that she doesn't own Yugioh. Reminder, -Telepathy- and (Thoughts).
Chapter 13
Tea went over to Yugi's the next day. "So do you think you can come out tomorrow?" she asked. "We have a surprise for you."
"Oh boy," Yugi mumbled. They were both sitting on the couch in the living room; Yugi had been flipping through channels before Tea had come over.
"Come on, I'm sure you'll have a good time," Tea said.
"Are you just trying to get me out of the house again?" Yugi asked.
"Yes and no. Come on it'll be fun, and we're just going to the park."
"What kind of a surprise is that?"
"You'll see tomorrow, that is if you go."
Yugi thought for a moment, "All right, I'll trust you. You haven't steered me wrong yet."
"Well that's good to hear," Tea said smiling. She left a short time later and called Mai to tell her it was happening.

The next day Tea went over to Yugi's at around ten. When she got there Yugi was just about ready, though he didn't look to be in a good mood.
"He fell out of bed again this morning," Mr. Motuoh said as he wheeled Yugi out the front door of the shop.
"Well lighten up Yugi," Tea said as she took over the chair. "Because today you can't be a grump." Yugi rolled his eyes as they headed off down the street. They met up with a few blocks down, and Joey two blocks later.
"Where's Bakura?" Joey asked.
"I don't know," Tea said, "He said he was going to be here, maybe his mom had to go out for a little while and he had to stay and watch his sister. They all shrugged and headed for the park.
"Almost there Yug," Joey said as they crossed the street. They got to the park and went to the area where they were supposed to meet Mai, but she wasn't there yet.
"It figures," Tea, said when they stopped.
"It figures what?" Yugi asked.
"You'll see," was Tea's only answer. They for a few minutes until Mai finally showed up.
"Goodness this park is bigger than it looks," she said when she came into view.
"Mai?" Yugi asked dumbfounded.
"In the flesh," she replied when she approached. "You really did get dinged up pretty good there didn't you?" Yugi groaned. Yesterday he and his grandfather had gone back to the hospital and got a brace that he could wear until his ribs were healed.
"Well?" Tea asked.
"You certainly surprised me," Yugi said.
"Well I would think so, considering we haven't seen her since Battle City."
"And that was how many years ago?" Joey asked.
"Three," Mai answered. "And to think Yugi got hurt doing something he enjoyed doing."
"Oh well," Yugi said plainly.
"What's the mater Yugi?" Mai asked. "Normally you're always up to talking."
"I think falling out of bed this morning would change anyone's mood," Tea said.
"You weren't supposed to say that!" Yugi yelled and he wrenched around to try and grab her.
"Stop it," Tea said smiling as she grabbed his hand. "I expect that hurts to do that too, doesn't it?" Yugi grumbled as he turned back around, wincing as he did. "So what do we want to do?"
"Why not try and lighten Yugi's mood a bit?" Mai suggested.
"Good luck," Joey said.
"I'll try this first," Mai said as she bent down to Yugi's level, and then kissed him on the cheek.
Yugi instantly snapped out of his mood and turned a bright pink. "What was that for?" he asked.
"Because it looked like you needed one." Mai answered. "Plus you're just so cute I couldn't resist." This time Yugi was bright red. "Though I must say," Mai continued, "that Bakura boy isn't to bad either."
"Don't you even think about it!" Tea yelled. "He's already taken."
"I know," Mai said, "but who says I can't charm him my way?"
Tea growled a bit, and then ran at the older woman. Yugi made sure that the brake on his wheelchair was set, then grabbed Tea's arm before she could reach Mai.
"What's going on?" Bakura asked as he walked up.
"Mai's tryin' to steal you away from Tea," Joey answered.
"Is she then?" Bakura asked as he walked toward the squalling women. "Sorry Mai," he said as he wrapped one arm around Tea's shoulders, "but like Tea said, I'm already taken."
Mai pouted, "Well at least I can say I tried."
"Trying was a waste of time," Tea said as she stuck her tongue out at her.
"Well while you three chit chat," Tristan said as he took the wheelchair handles, we're moving into the shade. "It's sunny out even though it's winter." They two girls followed them as Bakura brought up the rear. They sat there under the tree for a while, just talking about past events, and not Yugi's accident.
Yugi ignored it all and stared out into space most of the time, that is until Mai popped up next to him and surprised him. "Why so down?" she asked.
"He's probably bored," Tea answered.
"I think he answer for himself," Mai said. "Is she right?" Yugi nodded. "Well, that can be fixed. Lets see, what to do when your friend is in a wheelchair?" She would have thought more, but then the others started glaring at a young man that was passing by. "What's up?"
"That's Darin," Joey said as he and the others stood up. They couldn't do anything because they noticed that his parents were with him. He seemed to have a younger sister, but she wasn't much younger than him and looked perfectly capable of taking care of her self. When they settled nearby his mother said something to him, and then to everyone's dismay, he walked over.
"Need something?" Tea asked.
"Not really," Darin answered.
"Then what're you doing here?" Joey asked.
"My mother told me to come over and apologize for what I did," Darin answered.
"Yug?" Joey said as he looked at Yugi. Yugi shrugged, even if he could only use one shoulder, and Darin came forward a bit. He gave his plain apology, and Yugi being Yugi, accepted it. Darin didn't leave when he was finished, only asked, "Who's that?" He gestured the question towards Mai.
"A friend we met on the way to Duelist Kingdom," Yugi answered.
"Duelist Kingdom?" Darin asked, "Wasn't that where Maximillion Pegasus was beaten for the first and only time?"
"Yep," Tea answered, "and Yugi was the one who beat him."
"Him?" Darin asked, "You're joking."
"No way," Joey replied, "he beat me, I was second place in that tournament."
"Prove it," Darin said, "I'll duel him right now."
"You're joking right?" Joey asked, "How can you expect him to hold up his cards and put them into play when he has only one hand?"
"Both of my hands work Joey," Yugi interrupted. Joey looked at his friend. "My arm and shoulder may be immobile, but my hand does work. I can hold my cards in that hand and play them with my left."
"But we still need a table," Tristan pointed out. "I mean we can't use the nearest rock or the ground when you're sittin' in that thing."
"My parents brought a folding card table," Darin interrupted, "we can use that."
"Then lets duel," Yugi said, the familiar glint in his eyes that he got every time he dueled had returned.
"He's dog food," Joey said, and he wasn't the only one who noticed that the glint had returned. "Good luck Darin," Joey said. "No one can beat the King of Games, especially in this game."
Darin almost looked like he regretted challenging him, but then said, "Fine, lets duel."

Joey: Ye-haw, a duel, finally!
Tea: I can't wait to see how this one turns out.
Dragonwhisperer: I can assure you, and good duel is about to happen, so keep reading. Reviews are wanted, please.
Tea: Can I hurt you?
Dragonwhisperer: Why?
Tea: You know exactly why.
Dragonwhisperer: Relax, Mai's just being a flirt, you know that.
Yugi: She still tries to flirt with me.
